I’m sorry I dumped you for a Virgin. They seemed so exciting at the time, but now I know the truth. I need a more experienced partner. Since we broke up, I’ve done a lot of thinking. I realize now that I focused on all the negative things, and I ignored all the positive contributions […]
Thanks to the Occupy protests, we’re reminded more than ever of the epidemic of corporate greed, of companies more focused on their current stock prices than on offering quality goods or services, of the trend to outsource jobs while making excuses of being unable to find qualified workers in the U.S.A. Clearly, these stereotypes don’t […]
Berkeley college freshman Derek Low, known for his tinkering with various projects, may have created his biggest attention-getter yet with Berkeley’s Ridiculously Automated Dorm (or BRAD). Low’s dorm room makeover required several months of work and between $200 to $300 invested in off the shelf parts. The system integrates with the student’s iPhone using an […]

During a segment called “Cheating Death with Dr. Stephen T. Colbert, […]
Patrick Priebe of Laser-Gadgets.com may have a little too much time on his hands, but please, don’t let him know I said that. Previously, he’s made such weapons of mass destruction as a laser-equipped, wrist-mounted crossbow and the Flame Glove, which lets you shoot flames. From a glove. Now, he’s gone one step further into making video game-inspired […]
Boy, oh boy, the internet loves Ron Paul. The “I think I can, I think I can” of a GOP presidential candidate never fails to inspire love among his netroots following; and now, Politico reports that an enterprising soul is making an indie video game starring the Texas congressman/presidential candidate/implausibly utopian libertarian idealist.
